Breshad Perriman

The last player on this list was a teammate of Shaquil Barrett last year and that is wide receiver Breshad Perriman. The Bills are going to be in the market for a big wide receiver and Perriman fits the bill at 6’3″ with the added bonus of tremendous speed.

Similar to Barrett, Perriman had a breakout season with the Bucs after two disappointing seasons with the Baltimore Ravens and one season with the Cleveland Browns. This past year though he benefited from the high volume passing attack and set career highs in receptions (36), receiving yards (645) and receiving touchdowns (6).

The concern for Perriman is that he was in an offense that threw the ball alot and can he be effective if he isn’t getting a high volume of targets. The other concern is that his stats are a little misleading as 349 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns came in the final three games of the season.

At only 26 years of age, Perriman still has time to develop into the player the Ravens saw when they selected him in the first round. However, it isn’t worth betting on it for the Bills in the form of a big free agent contract.
